The CIA yesterday released a number of files from Osama Bin Laden's hard drive to the public. Naturally they contain correspondence with Al-Qaeda and copious amounts of propaganda, including video, images, and speeches.
But one of the most curious revelations coming out of these files is that Osama Bin Laden, or at least those close to him and working alongside him, was a massive anime and Otaku gaming fan. Pirated anime and video games included the likes of Naruto, Dragon Ball, Devil May Cry, and New Super Mario Bros. and Animal Crossing for the Nintendo DS, as well as PC games like Zuma.
He wasn't just interested in Japanese animation either; the CIA lists the following copyrighted videos hidden on the hard drive:
- Antz
- Batman Gotham Knight
- BBC Great Wildlife Moments
- Biography – Osama bin Laden
- Cars
- Chicken Little
- CNN Presents: World’s Most Wanted
- Final Fantasy VII
- Heroes of Tomorrow
- Home on the Range

So if you pirated games and anime, you're just as bad as Bin Laden.
NEEEEEEEEEERD.
This is absolutely hilarious. Can you imagine Bin Laden watching Cars, Chicken Little or Home on the Range? Or playing Animal Crosing?
I bet it was nintendo copyright team,and not cia,who find him first.Now everything makes sense.
Weirdest article I never expected to read on VGchartz.
The copyright and piracy violations were the real reasons he was hunted down. Let that be a warning to everyone.
Wtf this looks like my search history
This kinda feels like that one guy who loves to cough into hands, and then grab a handful of chips from the chip bowl without washing it.
So 2 of those are about himself. Bit of a narcissist.
Thanks Bush.
I'm just disappointed that they withheld "pornographic materials"... I can't be the only one who is curious as to what Bin Laden and his buddies were into, can I? After the enormous porn treasure trove of Saddam and his son's, I've always been curious about the hidden lives of people who so vehemently hate the things they occasionally indulge in.
Bin Laden strikes me as more of leech and not a seeder
Wow, he downloaded Where in the World is Osama bin Laden...he was that far gone then.
that's it, this proves 9/11 was an inside job
Yes and he is secretly alive and the head of EA
Not all heroes wear capes!
Chicken Little was a pretty good movie.
Not really
His entourage could have, but that wouldn't stick it to The Man.
Maybe not in Afghanistan, but possibly in Pakistan? He was there for a while as well right?
